Welcome Jake Marlin Kreider!

Jake Marlin Kreider was born on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz and measuring 21 inches long. 

Precious!

Of course it was love at first sight for Jeremy and Megan and they are adjusting beautifully to being a family of three. Because of COVID, we were not able to visit in the hospital, but we met him officially on Friday. What a little sweetheart!

Love how he is intently looking in this picture


There is not much better than holding a newborn baby.

Grandpa & Jake :)

Grandpa has Jake's full attention.


Welcome Jake! We are so glad you are here!

Look Who is 60!

60 Years Old!

January 20 was Steve's big 60. The family all came for supper and Megan and I decorated the apartment a little bit for the occasion.

Going up the stairs to the apartment

A few balloons. There were a lot more once Jay's added their 60 to it!

The table ready for the family

The family arrived and Jay's family brought 60 balloons for the occasion. Needless to say, that was a lot of balloons! Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of them all, but they were pretty much everywhere!

Standing around the birthday man

We celebrated around the table with food. The children surprised Steve by providing crabs to eat. That was fun and messy!

Eating...I should have gotten a better picture of the crabs.

And of course the cake...

Without his glasses, Grandpa had a little difficulty seeing to light the candles!

Happy Birthday!

Josh & Julissa gave Steve a little bag of 60 candy marbles with an attached note, "Congratulations on making it to 60! Unfortunately they say that when you turn 60 you start to lose your marbles, so enclosed in this bag are 60 replacement "marbles." Whenever you feel you've lost a few, help yourself to some from this bag to replenish them."

I guess that pretty much sums it up. Hopefully he keeps most of his marbles through his 6th decade.

Happy birthday Steve! Welcome to the sixties!
